Commemoration of Rev Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr - One Man's Struggles

Seeing the party of living and history of the beloved, late and sorely missed Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. O-n Monday 2-1 January 2008, I was struck not just by the tributes to his long-suffering family and Dr King, but additionally the popularity of Governor Mike Huckabee, Republican, by U. To read more, consider having a look at: pastor lee mcfarland. S. President Bill Clinton, Democrat.

Especially in light of Bill Clinton's public melt-downs regarding Hillary Clinton presidential competitors in recent times, I thought his public reputation of Mike Huckabee as 'a good man' was most grateful. President Bill Clinton was swift to point out, however, that he and Huckabee did not acknowledge much politically.

There is a greater brotherhood between the two men as both were raised in the bastion of the Southern Baptist religion. Completely disclosure, the Tennessee Mountain Man demonstrably springs from-the sam-e well. I'm glad to find out that Mike Huckabee promises not to be mad at any body about this which is probably over the Computer Man and Bill Clinton can say.

Having that small tid bit from the way… no…no it is perhaps not out of the way. It's never, it can never be out of the way. Growing up in certain religious communities with the attack of the real world scars one for-life. I-t leaves many without the capability to accept any supplement or enjoy any areas of life as a grown-up. I found out about lee mcfarland discussions by searching webpages. For instance, yours really missed several reviews of the President right after the words 'good man', as forcing it is way in-to my consciousness like a roaring train at full throttle was, 'there's none good, no not one.' Why could not I only accept what he had said?

Since the camera panned to Governor Huckabee who nodded his head in acknowledgement and understanding of the President's comment, my tired mind ran to 'he has just obtained his eternal reward.'

Of course we were warned to never be judgmental because, says the Holy Bible, using what judgment you judge you'll be judged. At the same time a saint with a dress to the floor and sleeves to the hands, carrying absolutely no make up and sporting a huge bun o-n top of her head stands looking down her nose at everyone while she trashes the girl next door and the preacher to anyone who will listen.

Since those times I've visited several Christian denomination and many non-denominational churches. I had been, at the time, the youngest ever qualified minister of the Southern Baptist Association at the tender age of 12. Like Governor Mike Huckabee, I am an ordained Minister (non-denominational) of-the Gospel… Visit this URL lee mcfarland to check up when to flirt with it. The Good Thing. I've served as a Chaplain in drug and alcohol recovery centers and half-way houses, and I'm still haunted by the promise of John 3:16 supported by the churches fervor to get everyone else 'saved' while over-whelming them with the thought that no body will heaven except the speaker.

Dr King was a Southern Baptist Minister and co-pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, but h-e probably would not have realized what I'm speaking about here. If you know any thing, you will maybe choose to compare about understandable. I've been a co-pastor in a predominantly African American Church and have been a traveling revivalist/evangelist with a Black Minister, and it has been my observation that black people enjoy life and their walk with God greater than guilt ridden white folk do. Probably blacks comprehend God in a way white people can't. Probably they trust God to be their righteousness while white folk try to work out their particular righteousness. Or, perhaps they trust and only find a loving, therapeutic, forgiving and restoring God that white men find self contradictory, bi-polar, and judgmental moving around trying to find you doing something wrong so H-e may heave you on the head with what-ever is useful.

I recall one elderly pastor who addressing the congregation one Sunday morning said, 'I know you, and I know you did not get righteous nor did you get holy… You simply got old.' Another preacher said, 'a number of you're so heavenly minded that you are of no earthly use.' Now that I am a senior and a product of the Initial Self Righteous Church I understand both responses, and both are right. But, where is Paul Harvey and the rest of-the story if you want them?

Stay right, you are informed, dare not do-anything that's fun and don't enjoy it as you are already planning to hell. Do not strike it… Do not make it worse. But, oh by the way, recognize how fat we preachers are? While we do not believe a word the Roman Catholic Church has to say and the practice of these priests is nothing lacking blasphemy and hypocrisy, we, in effect, offer you special dispensation to practice gluttony and to commit suicide on the installment plan with a spoon and a fork, but… use only grape juice in Holy Communion for strong drink is a sin.

Don't mess up on Saturday and show up at church on Sunday….. God is going to be searching for you! That is, after all, the spot where the High Priest was killed in the Holy of Holies and where Ananias and Sapphira died underneath the view of Saint Peter. When Jesus taught, God is a loving Father and explained for us to 'fear not', why do those professing to speak for Him in these days seek to maintain power and control through fear?

By the way, why is it a failure for the congregation to get filthy lucre whilst the preacher is wealthy and flaunts it?

Want to be like Jesus and practice the life span of Doctor King? Allow preacher sell all he has, give it to the homeless, and join his brother underneath the bridge eating only what he can reach the soup kitchen therefore he also can say, 'the son of man hath no where to put his head.' What?!!! Quit the satin sheets, the nice automobiles, the well heeled buddies, the well put associates, and the big house inside the 'burbs'? Do not hold your breath..
